Beer, Teesside, this week, anyone?
Discussion
iam up for it ian,anyone else? the weather may hold out until wednesday. Funnily enough I've just been to Tesco...
I've got the mother of all projects on at work at the mo, Thurs is the revised deadline (I've just finished for today, so much for 9 to 5) but I'll be there... when we decide where 'there' is.
Where are you, Broadside? Last meet we had cars from Redcar, Stokesley, Thornaby and Stockton. NeilV is up Killingworth way and might join us if we prod him, but he's not from around these parts, so maybe somewhere easy to find? I also know of three other TVR nuts who I may be able to coerce into joining us (Nitrous 400SE
, '87 280 DHC in US spec and an ex-Taimar owner who is saving for a Griff but may be persuaded by a cheap 350). Could be some gassing... 
For a ride out I'd nominate the Lion at Blakey Ridge, but probably a bit of a long way for NeilV. Hmmm.... a convoy of V8's doing the Rosedale Chimney in 2nd...

tvrbob said: Are there any good pubs north or inland of the Boro. Blakey Ridge is good for me but, as Ian suggests, not very central for everyone.
Hmmm... there's one at the side of the A19 up by Peterlee, but the car park is a bit dingy and can't be seen from inside too well. There's the Black Swan further south, but that's nearer Gemini's Yorkshire bunch than it is to us!
We could always terrorise the Max Toss brigade down at Seaton Carew
but that's a bit like a busman's holiday for Bob who can do the same thing on his own doorstep... Just north of here there's the one on the southbound side of the A19 near Hartlepool.... something Lodge I think...? Not far from Ron Perry's place (with a rolling road - woohoo!)
We could wake up the old fogeys and make it the Devonshire at Middleton One Row (near the airport) - frighten yourself daft and do the Aislaby road on the way there
brakes? what brakes...? Buck Inn, Chop Gate? Not far from Gt. Broughton per last time of course... which in fact may be a good spot again if nobody too far north joins in.
Or that one at Carlton in Cleveland... whassit called, I forget...
Come on chaps, help me out, I'm not RO yet you know!
I am not bothered by distance, so no probs there. The only place I can think of is the pub near the Canoe rapids at Teeside park. It has a large car park, and is ok for a chain pub. There is little point coming over to Darlo if most of you are in the teeside area.
Unless you really want to !!!!

Tees Barrage is OK, hope the weather is OK too so we can line up cars and observe the envious folk walking by.

MickC said: So is that Wednesday or Thursday then?
And can someone give some directions to Teeside park for us from up north please?
It may be wednesday or could be thursday i think the latter according to wedg1e we will find out later i think from ian .If ya coming down A19 heading into middlesbrough take the turn off on the flyover saying A66 Darlington follow road round Teesside park should be on your left on A66 take slip rd of to t park you wanna be in right hand lane traffic lights at top u wanna turn right at these lights move over to your left lane more t lights and u wanna go straight on over the railway lines to a rounabout 2nd exit off over barrage take a right follow road round brings you to travel inn and the pub .
cheers Neil hope it makes sence!
Let me be provokative here.
Is everyone ok for Thursday, Looks like wedg1e is busy wednesday and I would like to meet the 390. Though I have a funny feeling I inadvertently met it at Croft last week and did not put 2+2 together for a couple of days !!!
If Thursday is OK with everyone then I will be there for 8- 8:30 latest. Got to put kids to bed then wake them up driving off!!!!
Wednesday is ok too for me. Lets wait for the wedgemeister.
